The trailer for Bagman also known as Casino Jack.
Lobbyists are known for being slick, charismatic, fast-talking schemers. But none are good as Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey). There s nothing he won t do to take care of his gorgeous wife Pam (Kelly Preston) and their beautiful kids. Pam joins Jack s dad Frank in telling Jack to slow down, to be more careful.

It all comes crashing down when Jack s sleazy friend Adam Kidan (Jon Lovitz) gets involved in the SunCruz deal. Pam warns Jack that Kid
